Deep Sea Fishing

Captain John Boats in Plymouth have been fishing the waters of New England for more than 60 years. We’ve learned a few things over time. We know the species of fish our groups are in search of and where to find them. The crews of all Captain John Boats also know the equipment and fishing techniques and we’ll share our knowledge so you’ll have a worthwhile experience. Cod, haddock, mackerel, pollack and flounder – we can find the fish. Join us for an adventure in deep sea fishing, whether it’s Stellwagen Bank or Cape Cod Bay.
